      As it happens I'm seventy'something' but constantly mistaken for a forty year old

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten November 2025

      As mentioned the majority of our group members are in their 20s and 30s, so unfortunately our tours may not be the best fit for you. We do hope you find a trip that suits you perfectly and that you have an amazing time in Central America.
